NIS 2-direktivet betragtning 86

English language version pr. 2026-10-06 tier 3 Direktiv (EU) 2022/2555, CELEX 32022L2555

Among service providers, managed security service providers in areas such as incident response, penetration testing, security audits and consultancy play a particularly important role in assisting entities in their efforts to prevent, detect, respond to or recover from incidents. Managed security service providers have however also themselves been the target of cyberattacks and, because of their close integration in the operations of entities pose a particular risk. Essential and important entities should therefore exercise increased diligence in selecting a managed security service provider.
